Rebirth begins with picking up a cold and aloof school beauty

Gao Qin, with a stern face, said seriously, "Yang Qian, come out here!"

"Okay, okay, Teacher Gao."

Yang Qian's expression was extremely tragic.

She followed Gao Qin to the open space at the back of the crowd.

Gao Qin crossed her arms, frowned, and asked, "What you just said, is it all true?"

Yang Qian shook her head repeatedly, "No, it's not true, I don't like Chen Zhou!"

"I don't like it at all!"

"I was just... I was just talking nonsense, Teacher Gao. Right now, I just want to focus on my studies."

Yang Qian repeatedly denied it.

Gao Qin felt quite disappointed in herself as the English class representative.

You said it yourself, and you still don't dare admit it? I heard it all just now.

Sigh... Compared to Xia Yu, you are worlds apart in this respect.

That girl is usually very timid, but when I asked her to break up with Chen Zhou, she got angry with me.

You dare to confront me head-on!

What about you? You're so proud and arrogant all the time, but the moment something happens, you immediately wilted!

Spineless!

However, as Yang Qian's English teacher and grade head, she hoped that Yang Qian really wouldn't have any inclination to be in a romantic relationship.

Especially at this critical juncture.

After all, Yang Qian is neither like Chen Zhou nor Xia Yu; she cannot be admitted to Peking University through competitions, nor can she get into Tsinghua or Peking University through the college entrance examination.

Whether she can get into a 211 university in the future is a big question mark.

At the same time, as Xia Yu's aunt, she also hoped that Yang Qian would not have any negative impact on Xia Yu and Chen Zhou's relationship.

Gao Qin said, "That would be best!"

"Also, you just said that Chen Zhou used to like you? What's that all about?"

"Uh..." Yang Qian paused for a moment, then thought about it seriously and said honestly, "Actually, I was just making this up. Chen Zhou has always been pretty good to me, but I also know that it's because my family isn't well-off that he pities me..."

Yang Qian explained the situation to Gao Qin, who breathed a sigh of relief after understanding the situation.

She said calmly, which was rare for her, "Yang Qian, study hard and don't think about those things. Focusing on preparing for the college entrance examination is the only right path for you."

"In addition, if you have any difficulties at home, tell your teacher, and the teacher and school will help you solve them, or at least provide some support and help you apply for some scholarships or grants."

"Furthermore, once you get into university, you can apply for student loans. The government will ensure that every child who wants to study can complete their education."

"Only by going to university, studying, acquiring knowledge, skills, and broadening your horizons can you change your destiny!"

"So, don't worry about money or family matters. Just focus on your studies, understand?"

Gao Qin's rare gentleness was like "Nangong Wenya" having undergone a purification process.

In that instant, Yang Qian's soul was purified.

Yang Qian nodded repeatedly and promised, "Okay, I understand, Teacher Gao. I will definitely study hard and wholeheartedly!"

Hearing this, Gao Qin nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, that's settled."

Then, she let Yang Qian go and turned to join the senior class (9) line.

Yang Qian: "???"

Is this really the same Ms. Gao I know? So gentle.

I... am I alright now?

Yang Qian looked completely bewildered.

On the other side, Gao Qin went to the first row at the very front and came to Xia Yu's side.

Gao Qin whispered to her, "Stop looking. You two live next door, aren't you tired of looking at each other every day?"

Xia Yu made an "uh" sound, turned around, looked at her aunt, and blushed.

Gao Qin continued, "You must study hard too, okay?"

"Otherwise, if Chen Zhou gets into Peking University while you don't, that would be interesting."

Xia Yu shook her head repeatedly, "Auntie, I'm sure I can get into Peking University!"

Xia Xiaomiao is very serious and determined!

Gao Qin smiled slightly and said, "That would be for the best."

After today, Chen Zhou had a full 30 yuan in cash in his account.

He took the money and immediately lent it to his own Fish Boat Game Technology Company.

As for the previously promised loan of 100 million yuan to the company, that is naturally no longer valid.

With 30 yuan, you can definitely last a month.

Of course, this is mainly because Chen Zhou doesn't want to use the 600 million yuan that Aunt Rong gave him unless absolutely necessary.

Even if your parents-in-law treat you very well, a man should still strive to be strong!

For the next period of time.

Xia Yu refocused her attention on her studies and devoted herself wholeheartedly to preparing for the college entrance examination.

Her mock exam results came out, and unsurprisingly, she was not only first in the whole school, but also first in the whole district.

At the same time, she ranked third in science in the entire city of Chengdu.

This score is more than enough to guarantee admission to Tsinghua or Peking University!

Chen Zhou, on the other hand, secured his admission to Beidu University through early admission.

He almost never showed up at Haitang Middle School again.

He devoted all his time and energy to his career.

Starting from the Friday of the week he returned to Chengdu.

Fruit Ninja, a mobile game developed by Fish Boat Games, remained on the App Store's homepage featured list for a full week.

Along with this, Fruit Ninja saw a surge in downloads, user time spent, revenue, and GG income on iOS!

In just 7 days, Fruit Ninja has surpassed 50 new downloads on iOS!

The total revenue from both iOS and Android platforms over these 7 days has exceeded 200 million!

This not only made Chen Zhou rich in a short period of time.

This further boosted the fame of "Fruit Ninja," marking a turning point in its explosive growth.

And since it topped the bestseller list, it has never come down.

The combination of ranking recommendations and word-of-mouth effects.

Fruit Ninja became Chen Zhou's first "money-printing" flagship product.

Before we knew it, it was the end of December 2008.

Christmas has been over for a few days, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year.

Fish Boat Games Technology Company, internally.

An annual summary meeting and a celebration meeting were held simultaneously.

Inside the meeting room.

CFO Yu Xiu is reporting on various data for "Fruit Ninja" since its launch.

Yu Xiu became increasingly pleased with the calculations and reported to his supervisor: "President Chen, in the past month or so, our 'Fruit Ninja' mobile game has surpassed 300 million downloads across all platforms."

"Of the revenue from in-app purchases, after the platform takes its cut, we expect to earn 1240 million yuan."

"We expect GG revenue to reach 360 million yuan."

"Our total revenue is projected to be 1600 million yuan!"

"After deducting 25% corporate income tax, our company's total after-tax profit is 1200 million yuan!"

Upon hearing the bill from Yu Xiu, all the founding employees present became excited.

Because when they joined the team at the company's inception, Chen Zhou gave them an option incentive plan and a project incentive plan.

Let them choose between the two.

They all chose short-term project incentive plans at the time.

That is, a 5% share of the game project's after-tax profits.

Now, in just over a month, the project's after-tax profit has reached 1200 million yuan.

Based on a 5% commission, the four founding employees would receive a project bonus of 60 yuan.

An average of 15 yuan per person!

Moreover, this project will continue to generate profits.

They will always be able to get 5% of the project profits!

In Ren Junshuang's eyes, they had made a huge profit!

You could even say it was a meteoric rise!

In the foreseeable future, they will all be "financially free".

However, in Chen Zhou's eyes, Ren Junshuang and the other founding employees were simply short-sighted.

Asking for project bonuses instead of company stock options—how naive!

What a great opportunity we missed!

Therefore, Chen Zhou happily decided to allocate 1200 yuan from the 60 million yuan after-tax profit as bonuses to them.

Then, as acting CEO, Luo Fei led the team and managed the company in his absence. Although he followed the old rules, at least nothing went wrong.

Chen Zhou then planned to give Luo Fei 2.5% of the after-tax profit, or 30 yuan, as a bonus.

But this is only happening this time.

At the same time, Chen Zhou promised, "Luo Fei, I am not in the company most of the time, so you will be my and Xia Yu's agent, and will be fully responsible for the company's daily affairs."

"Therefore, as the acting CEO, I will give you an option incentive. Over the next four years, as long as you meet the KPIs I set each year, you will eventually receive a total of 2.5% of our company's shares."

Luo Fei's eyes lit up. "Really? That's great!"

"Thank you so much, Brother Zhou!"

Chen Zhou said, "Don't be too happy yet, the KPIs I set are not low!"

"If you don't complete it, you won't get the corresponding stock option rewards."

Luo Fei replied easily, "No problem! Brother Zhou, I know all that you're saying, but I believe in myself!"

"I also believe that the KPIs you set, Brother Zhou, might be very high, but definitely not outrageous!"

"So, let's go through fire and water, Brother Zhou!"

Chen Zhou laughed heartily.

Luo Fei did the math in his head. Although 2.5% of the shares sounded like a small amount, for a company like Fish Boat Games that could earn more than 1 million yuan a year, the annual dividends would be two to three million yuan.

It might even become more valuable in the future!

Luo Fei is now a loyal fan of Chen Zhou.

only……

Suddenly, Luo Fei sighed, "Alas... what a pity!"

"If my mom and I had understood your project back then and invested, we would have a 20% stake now."

"Oh no, oh no! You have no idea how much my mom regrets it now that Fruit Ninja is so popular!"

She was absolutely kicking herself!

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.

Chen Zhou laughed and said, "Haha, it's alright, Luo Fei, make sure your mother doesn't regret it now."

"Because she'll regret it even more later."

Luo Fei: "Uh..."

awkward!

The group enjoyed themselves for a while longer.

But at this moment, Chen Zhou added, "However, I also have a few things to announce here."

"That is, firstly, the company's revenue and profits have increased, but we absolutely cannot sit back and do nothing."

"If production needs to be expanded, then do it!"

"I have quite a few mobile game projects in hand, and you will be in charge of their development."

"Therefore, the company needs to further recruit talent."

"Secondly, in order to better attract talent and also to motivate you to create more value for the company."

"Over the next four years, I will allocate a total of 15% of the shares in batches to incentivize all employees of the company. Of course, this includes Luo Fei's 2.5%."

Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, Ren Junshuang and the others' eyes lit up.

They had previously thought that if they missed out on stock option incentives, they would never have another chance.

Unexpectedly, the boss has come up with another stock option incentive plan!

I'd go through fire and water for you, boss!

We swear to follow you to the death, Mr. Chen!

But Luo Fei was very puzzled. "Wait a minute, Brother Zhou, you only have 75% of the shares. If you give up 15%, won't you only have 60% left?"

"Then wouldn't that mean you've lost absolute control of the company?"

"I remember you once told me that if you lost absolute control of the company, you would rather sell it."

"Why has it suddenly changed again?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Luo Fei, you're absolutely right."

"If I lose absolute control of the company, I will definitely sell it."

"But I didn't lose it."

"Firstly, even if I only have 60% of the shares left, with the 25% held by Xia Yu, I still effectively control 85% of the shares."

Luo Fei exclaimed in surprise, "What?! Brother Zhou, Xiaoyuer isn't even married yet! And you're already adding her shares to your name?"

Chen Zhou smiled and said, "Why don't you go ask my Xia Xiaomiao if she'd like to?"

Luo Fei let out a long "uh," shook his head, and said, "Forget it, the answer is obvious."

Seeing this, everyone smiled.

The founding members of these companies didn't know much about the boss's wife.

They even met very rarely.

But they all knew that the landlady really loved the boss.

The kind that pays out of pocket without any conditions!

Moreover, even the boss's family would provide strong support.

At this point, Chen Zhou continued, "Secondly, I want to restructure the company's shares."

The single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire audience was in an uproar.

Yu Xiu asked in surprise, "Restructuring? President Chen, what do you mean?"

Luo Fei also asked, "Brother Zhou, how are you going to reform the system?"

Chen Zhou said calmly, "Don't overthink it. What I mean by restructuring is setting the company's stock as A and B shares."

Luo Fei asked, "What are A and B shares?"

Ren Junshuang looked blank and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of it."

The two young engineers looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yu Xiu tentatively asked, "President Chen, the AB shares you mentioned, you wouldn't happen to be the kind used by internet giants now, would you?"

Chen Zhou nodded slightly. "Yes, that's the kind."

"A-shares are common shares, with each A-share carrying only one vote, while B-shares are super-voting shares, with each B-share carrying 10 votes!"

Luo Fei looked bewildered. "Is it still possible to do this?"

Is it legal?

Chen Zhou said, "Of course it's legal!"

"It's just that this architecture design is rather complicated."

"Yu Xiu, I'm leaving this to you."

"If you don't know how, hire someone to do it and get it done as soon as possible."

Yu Xiu readily agreed, "Yes, boss!"

"I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Then, Chen Zhou continued, "Okay, let's move on to the next topic."

"How should we allocate the more than 1100 million yuan that has not been allocated in the accounts...?"
